Abstract

Acquiring the desired surface quality is one of the major efforts in machining of materials. Milling operation is a widely used machining operation to shape the material in different forms. Machining parameters and conditions are two major factors that affect the surface quality of machined workpiece in milling operation. In this paper, we analyze the surface finish of machined workpiece under the variations of machining parameters and conditions (wet and dry conditions) in milling operation. For our analysis, we use fractal dimension as the indicator of complexity of structure. Based on the obtained results, in the case of wet machining condition, by increasing the depth of cut, feed rate and spindle speed in separate experiments, the fractal dimension of machined surface increases. However, the obtained results in the case of dry machining condition are not consistent with the variations of different machining parameters. The obtained results will be discussed in terms of complex structure of machined surface. The method of analysis employed in this research can be investigated with other machining operations to check how the machining parameters and conditions affect the surface quality of machined surface.
